Instead of the usual over the top approach that ASUS ROG is well known for, Asus' style with the ROG Strix Scope is to take the common formula on mainstream $150(Php 7,500) mechanical gaming keyboards and improve it with its signature ROG branding. Its physical appearance doesn't initially strike the keyboard as gamer-y or too outlandish but rather a subtle professional look with the ROG DNA embedded in the keyboard's Aesthetic. Feature-wise, ASUS tweaked the standard 104-layout that would appeal to a gamer.

High quality mech keyboard for gamers!

Gold Award

In contrast to the ROG Strix Flare, the ROG Strix Scope can score with a base plate made of real aluminium, which not only benefits the look but also the feel. The keyboard also relies on a pleasingly minimalist design with a discreet RGB illumination.

Media Reviews

Powned.it

We recommend it to those looking for a keyboard dedicated to shooters, to those who do not need to move the peripheral often given its size and weight which, although not excessive, do not make it the maximum portability. It is certainly an important investment, but if you are an FPS lover, this is the keyboard for you.

ASUS ROG Strix Scope is an excellent keyboard, which offers at a fair price excellent materials and build quality, high customization possibilities, and specific functions that are really comfortable in the game

ROG Strix Scope Mechanical Keyboard

BUILT FOR ACTION

Extend your battlefield prowess with ROG Strix Scope, the mechanical gaming keyboard with Xccurate Design – an extra-wide Ctrl key for FPS precision. Enjoy colorful RGB Aura Sync backlighting, hit the Quick-Toggle Switch for work or play, and push the Stealth key for instant privacy. The keyboard is even finished with an aluminum faceplate for everyday resilience with a touch of style. Power to victory, with the power of ROG Strix Scope.

BUILT FOR FPS GAMERS

The world-class ROG R&D team scrutinized the play style of FPS gamers, applying their findings to create a key that's more than 2X broader than traditional Ctrl buttons. The result is Xccurate Design: the extra-wide Ctrl key for fewer missed clicks and greater precision. The keyboard also comes with four silver-hued keycaps for easy identification of the WASD control group, and even includes a keycap-puller tool for easy customization.

READY FOR WORK OR PLAY

The Quick-Toggle Switch prepares ROG Strix Scope for gaming or the daily grind, toggling the top row between Media or Function (Fn) key input – so it's easy to switch modes for work or play. The keyboard is topped with an aluminum faceplate for everyday resilience, and finished with a striking slash aesthetic for a little touch of style.
